<VV> cam clearance

Sweet!!
I was told it was a low mileage engine. The Plasti-gage was definitely  
under 3.
Now I'm looking through Bob Held's book for the "official" number.
 
Someday we're going to have to get bigger cams or bearing inserts. Reboring 
 blocks is just to expensive, isn't it?

As I  recall, maximum is .003".  If you have a case with only .002" on the  
front journal (the one next to the gear), it's essentially brand  new.
